What would you tire guru guys suggest for my rears?

Im running 225/35/20 on a 20x9 in the front

I can either bump up to 255/30 or 245/35 on 20x10 in the rear. What is gonna give me about the same sidewall height as the front?

Heres what I got for a comparison....

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
225/35-20 3.1in 13.1in 26.2in 82.3in 770 0.0%
255/30-20 3.0in 13.0in 26.0in 81.8in 775 -0.7%
245/35-20 3.4in 13.4in 26.8in 84.0in 754 2.1%

Now since the 245 is more of a stretch is the .4 gonna make up for stretching the sidewall more in essence giving me the same look as the fronts?

Got me some high flow B-Pipes on my T today...

Picked them up used from a guy on the Titan forums and finally got to put them on this afternoon. Had to get two new O2 sensors because the ones in the stock pipes just would NOT come out. Plus, I had a feeling they were on their last leg anyway, so it was a good excuse to get a new set.

Also got a new set of crush ring gaskets for the manifold side (which apparently NO ONE in DFW had any idea what those were). The install was pretty simple. The O2 sensors were the hardest part trying to unplug the original ones from the harness. Also, the passenger side pipe was a little tough to wiggle out as I was having to push on the exhaust with my feet to give the studs room to clear the flanges. Other than that, I was able to do the whole job in about an hour or so. Oh, and had to get some bolts for the cat back end of the exhaust as the stock pipes have the studs. Pics below...

Here are the two pipes. The previous owner painted them black when he got them and put a fresh coat of paint on before he shipped them to me... I was diggin that


This is the passenger side set of pipes comparison... aftermarket vs stock


And just a shot of the stock driver's side pipe


Oddly enough, I don't hear an obvious sound difference as my truck only has about 5' of stock pipe passed the y-pipe and then goes into the Flowmaster dual outlets with dumps (pic below).


I got some sound clips from my point and shoot and will get a clip of the new sound tomorrow. Also got a small clip of the exhaust open header (hehehe)... couldn't help myself. More to come.....

Id go with 245/35. The stretch will match the front.

Glad it worked out. I did not have any additional luck finding a x-over pipe, so I think your only options are to modify the one you have, or buy a new one (for waaay too much money...).
